1"Poor rover! will ye never have done with all this weary roving? where go ye now? But if the currents carry ye to those
2sweet Antilles where the beaches are only beat with water-lilies, will ye do one little errand for me? Seek out one Pip,
3who's now been missing long: I think he's in those far Antilles. If ye find him, then comfort him; for he must be very
4sad; for look! he's left his tambourine behind;--I found it. Rig-a-dig, dig, dig! Now, Queequeg, die; and I'll beat ye
5your dying march." "I have heard," murmured Starbuck, gazing down the scuttle, "that in violent fevers, men, all
6ignorance, have talked in ancient tongues; and that when the mystery is probed, it turns out always that in their wholly
7forgotten childhood those ancient tongues had been really spoken in their hearing by some lofty scholars. So, to my fond
8faith, poor Pip, in this strange sweetness of his lunacy, brings heavenly vouchers of all our heavenly homes. Where
9learned he that, but there?--Hark! he speaks again: but more wildly now." "Form two and two! Let's make a General of
10him! Ho, where's his harpoon? Lay it across here.--Rig-a-dig, dig, dig! huzza! Oh for a game cock now to sit upon his
11head and crow! Queequeg dies game!--mind ye that; Queequeg dies game!--take ye good heed of that; Queequeg dies game! I
12say; game, game, game! but base little Pip, he died a coward; died all a'shiver;--out upon Pip! Hark ye; if ye find Pip,
13tell all the Antilles he's a runaway; a coward, a coward, a coward! Tell them he jumped from a whale-boat! I'd never
14beat my tambourine over base Pip, and hail him General, if he were once more dying here. No, no! shame upon all
15cowards--shame upon them! Let 'em go drown like Pip, that jumped from a whale-boat. Shame! shame!" During all this,
16Queequeg lay with closed eyes, as if in a dream. Pip was led away, and the sick man was replaced in his hammock. But now
17that he had apparently made every preparation for death; now that his coffin was proved a good fit, Queequeg suddenly
18rallied; soon there seemed no need of the carpenter's box: and thereupon, when some expressed their delighted surprise,
19he, in substance, said, that the cause of his sudden convalescence was this;--at a critical moment, he had just recalled
20a little duty ashore, which he was leaving undone; and therefore had changed his mind about dying: he could not die yet,
21he averred. They asked him, then, whether to live or die was a matter of his own sovereign will and pleasure. He
22answered, certainly. In a word, it was Queequeg's conceit, that if a man made up his mind to live, mere sickness could
23not kill him: nothing but a whale, or a gale, or some violent, ungovernable, unintelligent destroyer of that sort. Now,
24there is this noteworthy difference between savage and civilized; that while a sick, civilized man may be six months
25convalescing, generally speaking, a sick savage is almost half-well again in a day. So, in good time my Queequeg gained
26strength; and at length after sitting on the windlass for a few indolent days (but eating with a vigorous appetite) he
27suddenly leaped to his feet, threw out his arms and legs, gave himself a good stretching, yawned a little bit, and then
28springing into the head of his hoisted boat, and poising a harpoon, pronounced himself fit for a fight. With a wild
29whimsiness, he now used his coffin for a sea-chest; and emptying into it his canvas bag of clothes, set them in order
30there. Many spare hours he spent, in carving the lid with all manner of grotesque figures and drawings; and it seemed
31that hereby he was striving, in his rude way, to copy parts of the twisted tattooing on his body. And this tattooing had
32been the work of a departed prophet and seer of his island, who, by those hieroglyphic marks, had written out on his
33body a complete theory of the heavens and the earth, and a mystical treatise on the art of attaining truth; so that
34Queequeg in his own proper person was a riddle to unfold; a wondrous work in one volume; but whose mysteries not even
35himself could read, though his own live heart beat against them; and these mysteries were therefore destined in the end
36to moulder away with the living parchment whereon they were inscribed, and so be unsolved to the last. And this thought
37it must have been which suggested to Ahab that wild exclamation of his, when one morning turning away from surveying
38poor Queequeg--"Oh, devilish tantalization of the gods!"
